Exclusive: Two new songs by Aharon Razel
If you can't wait for Aharon Razel's new CD to come out, Ynet brings you two new songs from the album
While some are counting the Omer, others are counting the days left until the release of Aharon Razel's new CD. The new album, sixth in line, is called "Connected to You" and is anxiously awaited by Razel's many fans.
Until you get your hands on it, here are two of the new songs, exclusively on Ynet:
Razel, one of the leading voices of modern Hassidic music, told Ynet that he feels the new CD is the most mature one to date. "This album has many layers," he explained, "both the lyrics and the music are more profound than the previous ones."
According to Razel, the new songs touch upon personal and spiritual themes. For example, the song "Connected" deals with the connection to God but also to the connection to earthier things – family, man, and the land. "I have three kids and fatherhood affected my art tremendously," said Razel.
The new album also features personal materials that were not included in the previous CDs: Razel wrote the lyrics to more than half of the songs.
